Potati, the secure browser for children

The web is full of sites not recommended for children.
To prevent them from "stumbling" onto them, two types of solutions exist: parental control and a secure browser.

Here's one that's well made and very complete: Potati

Today, children pick up new technologies very well and easily go on the web with our computers, smartphones or other tablets.

While many resources have been created for them on the Web (games, drawings, videos, etc.), it remains difficult to let them surf without supervision, given how many discouraged sites (pornographic ones in particular) are swarming.

ISPs of course offer parental control settings on their boxes, but they're not all very effective. That's why web browsers specially designed for children can be an excellent recourse. Here for example is Potati, a secure browser designed for children aged 3 to 12.

Potati is as much a browser as a portal to specialized resources. A simple and fast piece of software, first parents need to register a password, then create a profile for each child user: first name, avatar, age, etc.

Offered for Mac OS and Windowscomputers, the Potati browser is entirely usable with the mouse, and has voice guidance for our little ones who can't read yet. The filtering system is not based on banning sites, but on the contrary on authorizing them: by default, all sites not included in the portal are forbidden, but it's possible to add some manually, using the parental password.

Two licenses are available on the Potati website:

-Free version: free use up to a maximum of 1h per day and 3h per week, quite suitable for testing the software.
-Version at €29.90: unlimited use.

External content (video or audio) hidden: it sets its own cookies. Children who've tried it seem quite convinced. What will yours think?
